About 

As an architecture student at James Madison University, I am immersed in a dynamic and engaging academic environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and technical expertise. My journey as a student here involves a combination of classroom learning, hands-on experiences, and collaborative projects that shape my understanding of architecture and design. I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of architecture to shape the way we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. As I embark on my professional journey, I am eager to connect with like-minded individuals, industry professionals, and potential mentors who share my passion for architecture. I am open to opportunities that allow me to contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills.

Education 

James Madison University, Harrisonburg , Bachelors, Architecture Design

At JMU, I have the privilege of learning from experienced professors who are not only knowledgeable in architectural theory and practice but also deeply committed to guiding students through their educational journey. The curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education, encompassing subjects such as architectural history, design principles, structural systems, sustainable design, and more. Studio courses are at the heart of my education, allowing me to experiment with various design concepts and hone my artistic skills. These studios encourage me to think critically, develop innovative ideas, and translate them into tangible architectural projects. I work closely with my peers, sharing ideas, offering feedback, and collaborating on group projects that mimic real-world architectural practice.
